What was your 1st car?

[Hahnsb2]

89 Ranger reg cab short bed 2wd 2.3 5 speed nick named "Shard stain" by my freinds, drove it for 6 months before getting my B2, beat the ever living shit out of it, it's my dads truck and he still drives it every day to work over 70 miles round trip, most reliable cheapest to operate rig he's ever had. I still hate it and beat it whenever I have to drive it.

My first car was a 1980 Pinto 2.3L 4 speed. Sold it and no idea what happened to it after that. Second was a 1984 Ranger 2.0L 4 speed, sold it. Third was a 1987 Mustang 2.3L 5 speed, I miss this car. Traded it in when I bought my fourth vehicle, a 1995 Ranger 2.3L 5 speed. Traded in the '95 Ranger for a new 2008 Ranger 2.3L 5 speed.

My first car was a 1983 Mazda GLC - Piece of Crap
Nicknamed 'Maximus' cause it was one tough little car.

 

[OilPatch197]

Never owned a car.

..Piece of Crap..
..it was one tough little car.

Uh..

Those two phrases should not be together. Ha.

Uh..

Those two phrases should not be together. Ha.

Lol, it was a piece of Crap!

Everything was broken, nothing worked, I rigged a Doorbell for a Starter button.

But, it was tough, the little shit just would not die! I drove it to work and back everyday, never changed oil, never did anything. It just kept going. And I rallied it from time to time

My first car was 1987 Datsun B-210. Great little runner until the ignition went out. Broke down on the side of the road. I could not get to it for a couple of days. Finally, I was able to buy a new ignition switch. But by the time I got to it, someone pulled it into the desert and vadalized it.

Let my lesson be your lesson. Dont' let your car sit on the side of the road!

My mother felt pretty bad for me, and bought me a 1959 F-100 short bed pick-up. Never ran great . . . but still have it to this day. Just another project.

my first was a 91 jeep cherokee the engine ran like new and it was a 5 speed with the 4.0L and 4x4. sold it a few weeks ago though because it had a death shake when taken on the highway and it was starting to set its ways
